The Finance Committee of the University of Wisconsin Athletic Board on Tuesday approved a $70.4 million budget for 2006-’07 that includes a positive net margin of slightly more than $100,000, thanks largely to an increase in the cost of men’s basketball tickets and the inclusion of new “courtside” seating at the Kohl Center.
The full athletic board is scheduled to vote Friday on the $70,416,600 budget for UW athletics.
